A tycoon game I didn't see coming
Well, when I think of the tycoon genre of games and think about possible future titles I hoped for something like maybe TV Tycoon or somesuch but never did I see or conceive of this following one coming.

Announcing...Deep Sea Tycoon! Go get the demo.

What's next? Underground Cave Tycoon?

Sounds interesting. Right now I don't have any ideas for future tycoon games, but there's some tycoon games, I'd like to see fixed, like Car Tycoon. That game is great (When ignoring the tons of bugs and missings), which mean the general idea behind the game is great, but because it contains two tons bugs and missings (Like MP), it's unplayable But if someone could take the idea, and make the game playable, that would be great...And just for your knowledge, normally I don't care about cars, I believe I wouldn't even be able to recognize a Ferrari when one is driving down the street...

I've rushed out and slapped copyright on Santa's Grotto Tycoon. Optimising your elves and dwarves toy production while breeding the fastest reddest nosed reindeer has to be a winner!

I'd sencerly like a "Supervillian TYcoon". Manage your evil empire, repell attacks by secret agents & superheroes, & take over a third world country...

Porn Industry Tycoon appeared under the title "WET: The Sexy Empire" I believe. They didn't feature the massage parlour so perhaps there is room for a competing product

I'd like to see AK-47 Tycoon. Basically you'd manage a terrorist assault weapon, and sand would get in it, and stuff. It'd be fun.

Game Developer Tycoon - The interface of the game actually represents how much tech you've researched. So, you start off playing the game in DOS line entry mode and as you hire techs to research stuff the interface gradually improves depending on what you research. I think this might actually work.
